After our roundtrip to Gleinefjellet, Sætrefjellet and Gråsida, Fjellsamleren (Endre Myrdal Olsen) and me decided to make a quick stop on the way back to Bergen to visit Sætrelifjellet. As most other hikers, we started from the small parking lot next to the main road and passed by the red cabin on our way northwest.

The ascent was steep, but with only one spot requiring light climbing (which can easily be avoided, as we discovered on the descent). There were traces of a weak trail, but there was not much difference between following the weak trail or not.

We quickly arrived at the summit, which provided views back towards all of the peaks we had visited earlier in the day. Slightly northwest of the summit, there were also nice views down to Haukeland and towards Kvernhuselva in the distance. From the summit we followed more or less the same route back down. Being careful to avoid the steepest areas.

In summary, a steep short hike with decent views for such a short climb. Perfect as a bonus summit on the way home from a longer hike. :)

The steep section requiring light climbing. Go left if you want to avoid.
